Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, althought the overall tonality is less brighter, the original is warmer. The white in the catalogue illustration tends more to a cream and the electric blue tends to be deeper. Conditions: Slight frame abrasion along the four edges. Some cracks are visible in the blue paint situated at the top of the composition. One small loss of painting (approximately between 1 and 3 mm) is visible in each quadrant. No restoration is visible under ultraviolet light.
